Do many people use simplified chinese nowadays?
My english teacher was telling me how Taiwan and Hong Kong are adament against it, but mainland China uses it a lot.
Myself, I think the traditional chinese looks so much prettier.
Sorry, I don't want to insult any simplified chinese believers *sweat*.

@Chocfudge: How do you have chinese words on your computer?
I used to have a program, but it was in ping-ying, and I don't know that. I used to use the other one ^^.

Lawl. My computer is bilangual (did I spell that right?).

But if you like you can always ask others who can see the characters to take screenshots for you if there's something important.


Actually, it's not that important, since I can't read in Chinese sweatdrop (I can read some Japanese though, which is somewhat similar)

Japanese and Chinese belong in different language categories
japanese- alatic
Chinese-Sino-tibetian
the only thing Japanese really borrowed from the chinese are 7000 or characters

the only langauges similar to Japanese would be the Ryuuchiguchi languages spoken in the Ryukyu islands in southern Japan.

only stereotypical people say Japanese and Chinese are the same (no offense)

I agree, that's kinda frustrating when you study Jap and everyone keeps asking you:"How's with Chinese?"...GRRR
I wanted to ask you, where did you find the "alatic" definition? It applies only to Japanese, isn't it?
Thanks!

Dude, calm down. I was talking about the written language, not the spoken one. I'd have to be pretty stupid to think that spoken Chinese and Japanese were even slightly alike...

ah, then if your refering to the Kanji then you'd be right(korean also uses kanji too)
**sorry I thought you were refering to the language as a whole.

Hm... I've never heard of Chinese verbs being conjugated... although we do add words to it... I guess? Lol, I never really thought about that ^^.

Yes, in mainland China people usually use simplified Chinese, it's only (as far that I know) in Taiwan, Hongkong and Macao where they still use traditional Chinese. I can read both, but find simplified Chinese a lot easier to learn, remember and write. But that's just me. Probably a lot of Taiwanese and those people that write traditional Chinese find it prettier.

To be honest I don't have a Chinese programme on my laptop, so I just used the google translator and pasted it into this thread. sweatdrop
